MURDERER!!!

>>87485554
What a fucking pussy.

>>87485554
Well thank goodness, I was really concerned the interesting super heroics would get in the way of this mundane relationship drama!

Oh boy.... here we go.

Let's just get this arc over with.

>When is _____ leaving?
>Cut to spaceship leaving
Kirkman loves his motifs.

what happened with the chick that raped Mark? any developments on that front?

>>87485314
Oh wow, that's creepy. They named the kids after Immortal and his ex.

>>87485896
hasn't happened in the storytime yet.
But in the actual comic she has Mark's kid but is living with a man, so she's tempered down a bit

STOP TELLING EVERYONE MARK'S SECRET IDENTITY!

>>87486027

>>87485948
It just would be strange to be constantly reminded about that time you died, the kinda depressing life you've had, and the most likely bipolar wife who probably should have been in an asylum.

First all of Paris is killed, now all of Vegas. Nevermind how many were killed in the Invincible War.

Christ, the world population is probably barely pushing 3-4 billion by this point.

>>87486629

>>87485493

>>87485554
I wonder if there is a Loss edit with Mark and Eve.

>>87487834
Classic

>>87486041
I don't get the point of this scene. You'd think it would get referenced later but it never does. Just a random page of shitting on the old tailor for no reason.

Sorry, gotta take care of something, be right back

>>87487989

I dont understand why Cecil doesn't just turn his entire staff into reanimen on the sly. They are more powerful than the majority of heroes and if they weren't suicide bombers then they'd make a decent thing to have around.

I know he has an army of guys he's made anyway but I mean in general staff/soldiers. After all I can imagine his entire staff would jump at the chance to be as strong as an early Invincible.

>>87485133

Damn, that cyclops. I hope he has a good end But I doubt it.

Murderanon, you the MVP.

>>87485554
>this is all my fault you killed our child! please from now on you peg me, then we'll finally be safe from another future problem made by me

>>87488037
probably because you turn into a fucking zombie?

>>87488199

Except you don't. You keep all your mental faculties and get a massive power and durability boost. Being a zombie might suck but Im sure the guy mentioned he wasn't even aware he was changed till he got triggered.

>>87488370
...No. You're a mind-controlled slave-bot. Read the comic.

>>87488370
The OLD reanimen used living people, the new ones use corpses. Specifically the corpses of Invincible's dozens of evil dimensional counterparts.

>>87485859

Shit, I almost thought that Oliver was back in that top right panel.

>>87485023
watch out, the fingers are off now

>>87485945
>>87485975
>>87485997

This whole exchange made me happy.

>>87486852

Wait, he actually succeeded in totally evacuating the place before he glassed it?

Dinosaurus was a complicated man-monster, wasn't he?

>>87488370
No its extremely painful and you would be trapped in your own body waiting for orders to go on suicide missions. It may be good for making a soldier but it would be terrible for any other job on a staff. The scientists, spies, investigators, hackers, IT guys, secretaries, etc. would be utterly useless as reanimen.

>>87488804
Well, he knew that all he'd have to do is show up and start harmlessly wrecking shit and let the city's "rampaging monster" protocols do the rest.
This is the Image-verse, monster attacks and major metropolitan evacuations are practically a monthly occurrence.

I actually like Fatom Eve myself. I don't believe in body positivity and I don't find her attractive or anything, but it's cool to have more variety in body types in the comic.

>>87490152
Man I love how huge a bitch DupliKate is. Makes the other bitches seem smalltime.

>>87485975
>Nobody looks up
Give the man a medallion!

>>87490390
Hot damn

>>87485493
To this day I don't understand why she did it.

>>87490198
I find it weird how they made this character look more like robot/rex because in the previous issue he had darker hair

>>87490498
He was gone for months and she didn't even know if he was alive or dead. Raising a baby without a father is an intimidating prospect, I would imagine even more with a superpowered baby.

>>87490487
white room = bad news

>>87490390
Hot

>>87490487
Time to flip out
Mark never yelled at him over keeping Conquest alive, did he?

>>87486629
says the big guy

>>87490390
holy hell "things" are different now

>>87486852
fucking msm

>>87490487

I know he's kinda hooked on teleporting, but did he also grow too attached to springing a bunch of reanimen on Mark in a white room too?

>>87490845
Cecil loves tradition.

>>87487365
not now boner

>>87490907
I mean I get it but do they all need to be dressed the same as mark?

>>87490947
me too, Cecil.
This underlines something that makes Invincible different from other capeshit comics: the people genuinely change over time. and not "you won't believe what happens in this issue!" kind of changes that just get retconned out later. I know I know shut up, or shit that gets twisted just so a new writer can prove they're different for the sake of fashion or proving they're the new owner of the property (*cough* Gail Simone *cough* Red Sonja).

I've been following it for a while, at arm's length, but I haven't felt cheated or cheaped-out.

They're using their original costumes, it's just that Ottley got a bit lazy in that sequence and gave most of them regular Mark's costume with a few minor alterations.

>>87491115
the seeds of dissent

>>87491226
this kills the boner so hard Mark gets erectile disfunction

Is it just me, or are Viltrumites heavily inspired by Akira Toriyamas' Saiyans?

>>87491255
no that was someone else

>>87491280
>>87491312

Shit, they should have given another go at going legit ;_;

>>87491334
it's just you. weeb.
Viltrumite moustaches look nothing like monkey-tails, and they aren't based on some "Journey To The West" legend.

>>87491366

>>87491372
To be fair, he's not the only one who has noticed the resemblance.

>>87491372
Have a shrug.jpg.

>>87491372
It's not really just him. Saiyans were semi-inspired by Superman, and the way the Viltrumites fight and grow stronger is very similar to the way saiyans do.

>>87491429
>>87491515
That is, apart from being a space warmongering race with superpowers and uniforms.

>>87491515
Nah.
Superman gets stronger as he gets older, doesn't even have to do anything.
Viltrumites get stronger by being pure-blooded, or by vigorous exercise.
Sayans get stronger by getting beaten to an inch of their lives and recovering (and eating a sensu bean lets the heroes cheat on the recovery part).

Do they each serve the same purpose in their respective stories? oh yeah, no argument, but it's some Jungian power-fantasy thing, like Samson or Hercules or Gilgamesh.

Hey, do the Mauler twins or any alternate dimension instances of them ever show up again? They were way too good at cloning to just be gone for good, right?

>>87491704
Mark developed powers in adolescency and sayans are training as well, but hey, it is all fantasy.
Noone said "Viltrumites are literally Sayans", they just got inspired by them. Forgive me if i start the trend of Freddy Murdery vs. Vegeta threads now.

>>87491662
I thought you said >>87487303 that gravity gun guy is not relevant again? There is is, playing a part in making devil dinosaur's dream come true.

GodDAMNIT, Mark.

> panel 1 : I'm safe here man

Weird quirk. Like Dinosaurus has just a little bit of influence over his weak ape form.

And that's it for now, more Murderman next time.

>>87485913
>I don't think he'll ever take me flying again

this line always feels so bittersweet. coming from a former main character who's barely in the story now

>>87489900
holy shit , in retrospective Cecil played right into his hands...

>>87492205
Thanks Murder

Mark you total fucking idiot

>>87492205
I salute your dedication, good sir and/or madam.

>>87491879
Fuck

>>87490297
>And its only going to cost us a couple hundred million in electricity
So basically:
1. Staff absorbs energy in rawer forms(heat, electricity)
2. Staff can't convert matter into energy
3. So she has been going on about this the wrong way

>>87491985
Mark's not wrong, but he's not strong enough or capable of keeping him in check, so this is a garbage idea.

>>87490329
That's a smile that promises some interesting developments.

Saiyans can shoot energy beams dumbass
Viltrumites are a simpler form of Superman. They do not transform under the moon or have any similar theme.

>>87491334
If anyone are the Saiyans it's the Unopans like Allen.

>>87492205
I wonder how long it would take Mark to kill 1.6 billion people. Or 1.4, or whatever the number is now

>>87491701
MARK! NO!

>>87491707
they do
when Rex betrays Mark, they reappear and hep build the machine so he can go back to his earth

>>87485882
Yes!

>>87492205
Jesus Mark, come on... he's wearing a fucking bad-guy cape for Christ's sake! You're smarter than this, Mark!

>>87493749
he's got to wear something, it's cold up there and dinosaurs are cold-blooded. That's probably a giant heating pad.

>>87494136
>dinosaurs are cold-blooded
No they weren't

>>87494160
You weren't there bitch

>>87494160
wait what?

>>87489963
B E S T T I G E R

>>87494193
>>87494197
General consensus in the paleontology community is that dinosaurs were mostly either warm-blooded or somewhere in between warm and cold-blooded, not all the way cold-blooded. While they're from the same family as modern reptiles, sauropods, theropods, and synapsids were closer to modern day birds or mammals than to lizards.

>>87494622
Well dinosaurus seems pretty cold-blooded to me, and even if he isn't, it's pretty cold up there and he usually goes shirtless. My point about the cape still stands.

>>87490078
Is that really necessary? She's powerless without the staff.

Also how long has it been? Give her a change of clothes or something.

>>87493249
for the record allen is the only unopian who has any superpowers, none of the others can even get a power boost

dinosaurus?

Did i miss something when did rex become him wasn't he controlling earth and what did i miss with why he doesn't forgive his ex?
plz explain

Ditto, I miss William, although its better for William than ending up dead because of an enemy that wants to get back at Mark for something.

>>87486975
Rick and Shane!

>>87495017
rex is not the guy who turns into dinosaurus they just look simlar.

dinosaurus has a soul patch and rex has a beard.

>>87496540
Satisfactory Serval

>>87491064
Well it's only one writer here, Other comics have had different writers thorough the decades and a lot of them don't like to follow up on the previous writer (unless they really like their work) and they just go and do their own thing.

It's part of the reason why Wonder Woman doesn't have a stable supporting cast or a definite rogue's gallery (people will tell you who Superman and Batman's greatest villains or arch nemesis are but with Wonder Woman they'll tell you "Cheetah" "Ares" and the Ruckafags will say "Veronica Cale"

>>87490152
Why does Eve even hang out with her?

>>87499272
she likes knowing/pretending there's someone out there shittier than she is.

>>87485063
Mark confirmed for shit fashion sense blue and black was best suit
Also THICC

>>87485182
Everyone over reacts a lot in the series
Mark was just asking and his mom is like I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE ACTING THIS WAY!!!!

Robot and Monster Girl are my favorite characters in this. Will I end up hating him when the bad shit he causes that anons keep alluding to goes down?

What's happened recently in Invincible?
Is Robot still ruler of the earth?

To be fair we can't really discern tone from static images/text. She could just be mom nagging, not actually seriously offended or anything.

Normally I balk at calling a guy a pussy, but taking the blame for her having an abortion? When she did it 'cause you might be dead? And you had to save the fucking galaxy?

Jesus.

Comfort her, Mark, but taking the blame?

Pussy.

>>87505287
It hurts because she's so goddamn hot. And before you say anything, I'm fully caught up with the comic and robot is still one of my favorite characters, no matter what he's guilty of.

>>87491879
YES

Every time Tech Jacket shows up in Invincible, it's like I can feel Robert Kirkman reading over my shoulder shouting "HEY MAN, IT'S TECH JACKET! 'MEMBER TECH JACKET?!"

>>87507879
I think it's more of a "I"m sorry I put you in this situation" rather than a "I'm sorry I made you get an abortion".

>>87491144
Pegasus, Outrun, and Knockout, why do I have a boner for all these third-stringers? Damn you Otterly for making your fallback generic superheroine bodytype the one I want to bone!
And also Fatom Eve! That's good, too!

>>87509073
I think Tech Jacket was one of his favorites, he seemed incredibly shoehorned into the whole Invincible War thing, and he came out of it fairly unscathed so it felt like he was getting a little plot armor help to keep him going against the Viltrumites. Granted, he did get fucked up in his own book, but here he felt more like an NPC helper in a videogame that wasn't allowed to take damage.

I still like the kid though.

>>87487303
>you did just fine with the guardians of the globe
Yeah, right

>>87492205
Goddammit Mark looks like Cyclops in that last panel.

>>87512491
Of course he does
He's right

>>87486673
If only..

You disgusting Amerifags can't stop draining nature. And now other nations follow your shit path.

Dinosaur is the true hero. I appreciate his edge.

Can you imagine the reflection of all the sunlight in the desert?

This area will be dead for thousands of years. Awesome.

Nah, the sand will erode the glass, making it opaque and not reflecting at all. Just hard. Then sands will cover the glass.
